Building on macOS

[pcl]

Hi,

Given the Movescount EOL announcement, I'm interested in getting openambit compiling and running on my Mac. I've taken a quick look at building from source, and ran into the problems outlined in #111. I then moved on to trying to get the Docker-based build instructions working.

I've gotten further, but haven't been successful yet. I've edited the Dockerfile to run apt-get install qttools5-dev-tools, and enabled C11 compatibility for CMake. But now I'm running into issues compiling pmem20.c.

Has anyone had any luck with Docker-based or non-Docker compilation and running on macOS as yet? If not: any tips about how to deal with these pmem20.c issues?

Once #221 gets merged, the Docker builds should succeed without trouble (as long as you don't try to build the wireshark dissector).

[centic9]

Now that #221 is applied, building via Docker should work for you as well, please give it a try and let us know if you encounter any remaining problem.

Has anyone tried this on Mac OSX now? I was able to run the dockerfile with default command, without any errors, but not really sure what to do after that. I'm not able to run the /run.sh script, as the -build directories don't exist.
